Description
Apple systems support dynamic libraries organized as Frameworks. Because this way of organizing C/C++ code is not cross platform we generally don't recommend or use Frameworks at Mapbox. To clarify that apple systems support both dynamic and static libraries in the same way as other unix systems (and this is our preferred best practice) we should add Frameworks to the glossary to describe how they differ.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Locate the project's glossary and review nearby entries for terminology and scope. Add a Frameworks entry explaining how Apple frameworks differ from the dynamic and static libraries preferred at Mapbox; done means the glossary clearly covers the distinction and the existing guidance remains consistent.
